"I'm been honest Bella, that was the best part of my day been with you, I just love to feel you in my arms and showing you how much I love you," said Edward while he started to kiss me softly in the lips.
I looked at him straight in his beautiful green eyes, "I love you, Edward," I whispered against his lips
"I love you too, Bella," whispered Edward.
We stared making love slowly, after we came together, we rolled over and fell asleep with our bodies wrapped around each other. It was the best night of my life. The intensity of falling Edward making love to me or just fucking like we just did tonight it was amazing.
Bella's POV
Sadly it's our last week here in Barcelona, and since we saw all the attractions that Barcelona had to offer we decide to go shopping. This had Ali jumping up and down with excitement; I'm not much of a shopping kind of girl but what the hell I'm shopping in the streets of Barcelona.
We decided to take a break, and grab some food, in one of the site seeing trips that we did we found a McDonald's and thank god for that. Once we got our food we sat on the tables that they had outside the restaurant.
"Can you believe that we're leaving Barcelona?" said Rosie, as she took a bit from her Big Mac.
I sighed. "I know, right? This has been the best vacation ever!" I said as I took one of Edward's fries.
"Hey, those are my fries, eat your own," smirked Edward, as he took one of mine's.
"Yours are much better than mine," I whined.
Edward chuckled. "It's okay, love, you can eat my fries," said Edward kissing my lips softly.
We finished eating. Once we started shopping again, we were walking and looking at the stores and site seeing when we came across this poster.
"Oh my God!" squealed Ali, "Bella look at this!"
"What is it, Ali?" I asked.
"It's a music competition," said Ali as she pointed at the poster.
New Voices Competition

Date: June 15, 2010.
Time: 8:00pm
Location: Palace of Catalan Music
You can go and sign up at the Palace of Catalan Music's lobby before June 13.
"Yeah, what about it?" I asked. "What is so great about a music competition?"
"You should enter it!" said Ali, "You've an amazing voice."
"Are you nuts?" I asked, "You want me to sing in front a bunch group of people."
"Why not? You have done it before," said Rosie.
"That was in high school, it's not the same," I said.
Edward put his arm around my waist. "Love, I think you should do it. I believe in you," whispered Edward.
"I'm going to think about okay," I said, "Today is the 10 of June so I've three days to think about it."
Edward kisses my lips softly. "That's all I ask, love," said Edward, "I love you."
"I love you too," I said.
We got to the house, and I went straight to my room. I've been pacing in mine and Edward's room thinking for the past 2 hours. What if I'm not good enough to show my ability to sing? I knew Edward and the gang will support me. I've been thinking a lot about the contest, everybody had told me to do it but I've some man what ifs? In my head that I don't know what to do. I needed to talk to the person who'd tell me what to do besides Edward who I know that he believes in me and wants me to follow my dreams and that would be Charlie. I looked at the clock it was almost 4pm here which mean that back in Forks was 10am so he was at work.
So I took out my cell phone and dialed Charlie.
"This is Chief Swan."
"Hey, Dad," I said, sliding down onto the floor and laying my head on the wall. "What are you up to?"
"Bella!" he cheered. I could almost see the smile on his face and I missed him even more. "Just working. How's Spain?"
"Oh my god, Dad, it's...amazing," I gushed. "I love it."
"Good, good," he said. "Edward and everyone ok? Ya'll having fun?"
"We're having a blast," I said, pulling my knees up.
"But?" he asked. "There is a but, right?"
"But there is this music competition and I want to sign up," I said.
"So sign up," he said.
"I'm scared, too," I muttered. "I would be singing in front of like a thousand people."
"Ok," he said, slowly. "Bella, you are an amazing singer. Trust in yourself. Look at how much you've done just in the last few months. You know, most people who have been through what you have would have let it control them but you didn't. You just need to believe in yourself."
"But what if I can't do it?" I asked. "What if I get on that stage and freeze up or whatever?"
"What if you get up on that stage and shine?" he asked.
"Daddy," I murmured.
"Sweetheart, you can do it. I believe in you," he said, quietly.
"You do?" I asked, feeling my eyes fill up with tears.
"Of course I do," he murmured. "You're a star, Bella."
"I love you, Daddy," I cried.
"I love you, too," he said, thickly.
I hang up; I took a big breath and headed out to the living room where everybody was waiting for my decision. When I got to the living room Rosie and Emmett were sitting in the couch, Ali and Jasper were sitting on the floor playing cards and Edward was playing the piano. I walked towards him and sat on the bench and put my head on his shoulder.
"Do you think that I'm that good, to stand in front of all those people?" I whispered.
Edward kisses my forehead. "Yes, I do love besides you're not good, you're great," whispered Edward. "Did you talk to Charlie about it?"
"How did you know that I was talking to Charlie?" I said
"Because I know you, and you needed an extra boost to go for it," said Edward.
I sighed. "Yes I talk to Charlie, he told me that he believes in me and that I'm going to shine," I said.
"So you're going to compete?," asked Edward
"Yes, I am, I have to believe in myself and I know that I'm going to make it," I said, "Besides I'm not doing it alone."
"What do you mean, you're not doing it alone?" said Edward.
"Well since you're mine inspiration, maybe you could play the piano for me," I said as I bit my bottom lip.
Edward put his hand on my cheek, "I'd love to," said Edward.
"So this mean you're going to sign up for the completion?" asked Ali.
"Yes, Ali I am," I said, "I'll go tomorrow to sign up and then we can go and find my perfect outfit with yours and Rosie's help."
Rosie and Ali looked at each other, "YES" they squealed.
Emmett came and hugged me, "Little sister, you're going to sing in front of all those people," whispered Emmett.
"Yes, brother bear I am" I whispered.
"We believe in you, Bells," said Jasper as he came and join our hug.
My family believes in me, so I'm going to sign up for this competition and lord help me not to make a fool of myself…
